Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey
- 8 oz (225g) sliced button or cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium (150g) onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp (28g) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (16g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
- 3/4 cup (180g) full-fat sour cream
- 12 oz (340g) wide egg noodles
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink. Note: Don't crowd the pan or the meat will steam instead of sear.
- Add the diced onion and mushrooms to the meat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture and turned golden.
- Stir in the garlic for the final 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the flour is fully absorbed and smells slightly nutty. Note: This is crucial to avoid a floury taste.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Use your spoon to scrape up any brown bits (fond) from the bottom of the pan until the liquid is smooth.
- Bring to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens into a velvety consistency.
- Lower the heat to medium low. Stir in the sour cream until fully integrated and the sauce is a pale, creamy tan.
- Fold in the cooked, drained egg noodles. Stir gently until every noodle is coated in the sauce. Remove from heat immediately to prevent the dairy from breaking.
